}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0
{
let cell : TripDriverDetailsCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripDriverDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripDriverDetailsCell
return cell
}else if indexPath.row == 1 {
let cell : TripFareDetailsCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripFareDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripFareDetailsCell
return cell
}else if indexPath.row == 2 {
let cell : TripPaymentModeCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripPaymentModeCell", for: indexPath) as! TripPaymentModeCell
return cell
}
return UITableViewCell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if indexPath.row == 0{
return 230
}else if indexPath.row == 1{
return 200
}else if indexPath.row == 2{
return 120

Answer 1

Eliminate the return UITableViewCell.
Some people might say return UITableViewCell(), but I’d rather handle this case as the error that it really is, e.g.
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
switch indexPath.row {
case 0:
return tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripDriverDetailsCell", for: indexPath)
case 1:
return tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripFareDetailsCell", for: indexPath)
case 2:
return tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripPaymentModeCell", for: indexPath)
default:
fatalError("Unexpected row number \(indexPath.row)")
}
}
The heightForRowAt should similarly handle the scenario where the indexPath.row is not 0, 1, or 2, e.g.:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
switch indexPath.row {
case 0: return 230
case 1: return 200
case 2: return 120
default: fatalError("Unexpected row number \(indexPath.row)")
}
}

Answer 2

let cell : UITableViewCell
if indexPath.row == 0
{
cell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripDriverDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripDriverDetailsCell
}else if indexPath.row == 1 {
cell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripFareDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripFareDetailsCell
}else if indexPath.row == 2 {
cell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripPaymentModeCell", for: indexPath) as! TripPaymentModeCell
}else {
cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellId, for: indexPath)
}
return cell
}

You've got
Cannot convert return expression of type 'UITableViewCell.Type' to return type 'UITableViewCell
because you return a cell as return UITableViewCell that means you return a whole UITableViewCell class instead of single UITableViewCell() therefore in the last you've to return cell as return UITableViewCell()
e.g.
extension TriipDetailsViewController: UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource{
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 3
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0
{
let cell : TripDriverDetailsCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripDriverDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripDriverDetailsCell
return cell
}else if indexPath.row == 1 {
let cell : TripFareDetailsCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripFareDetailsCell", for: indexPath) as! TripFareDetailsCell
return cell
}else if indexPath.row == 2 {
let cell : TripPaymentModeCell = tripDetailsTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TripPaymentModeCell", for: indexPath) as! TripPaymentModeCell
return cell
}
return UITableViewCell() //Here you've to change
}
